Inventor. But I have yet to check out SpaceClaim and Alibre.

Yes, SolidWorks is on a top-two list.

That is now the main reason for us still being with VW MD. When the opportunity comes VW will be phased out. You know that Nemetschek development focuses on other disciplines when a improved stair tool is touted as an improved VW MD feature :-/.

In the viewport OIP check "Project 2D objects".

"Print current view" in the print dialog can be an option, maybe.

Yes there is. Alternate characters

Hi Richard, We have used VW with several different cutters for years. Just make sure the cutter reads dxf og dwg files; usually they do. Only challenge with a new cutter is to find the correct dxf/dwg version to export to.

Indeed!

Glad to help Matt.

Matt, 1) Draw the path. Use a polygon, polyline or nurbs curve 2) Draw the cross section 3) Extrude Along Path

Hi 1) The resolution of sheet layers is set in the organization window. Default is 72 dpi. 2) Sorry, I don't have any suggestions on this.

I work with mechanical design and assemblies and detail drawings all the time. My approach is to create a "general" class and a class for each type of object/detail. If there are multiple instances of a type of object I insert them as symbols. All assigned the object class and additionally all but one get assigned to the general class. By showing and hiding classes in viewports I can now show them all in assemblies and use one object to create a detail drawing.

Agreed, to far above. Nice thought though.

Thank you both for answering. There is no option for this in the edit custom standard dialog, and I was hoping to avoid manual edit. Does anyone know if VW2010 have the same issue?

Hi folks, I have a problem where the text in dimensions are obscuring the witness line. This occurs when the text is to long for the available space between the witness lines and moved to the outside by VW. The fix have been to adjust it manually. Is there a way to adjust the offset distance for text outside witness lines?

OK, I see; Create Report. I am not used to the report manager, so I was looking for the parameters in the worksheet (paste function). Thanks!

OK. But where do I find the available variables like size and screwIndex?

You can use your own title block. You'll find good step-by-step instructions in the VW help files. Search for "title block".

You guessed correct. Sorry. Maybe it's easier to first do the math, then delete the decimals? 405,11 405,11-5 400,11 400

What I meant was replace ,51 with ,0 then type -5 405,11 405,0 405,0-5 =400

I agree, the VW12 behavior is the better. A "fix" is to type ,0 then -5.

Try the manufacturers websites, like Bosch Rexroth.

Do we get, finally, the ability to center mark and put radial dimensions to circular objects in VP's?

What if the most current version of VW is already running when you open the file, does still not open?
